rj, do you have any of the words at all which you could share with us? Sorcha and I are both in Wyoming and might be able to track down someone at the ranch who might know. Ya never know.

I will also ask my dad, although he was raised a cattleman through and through, so unless it denigrated sheepherders, I doubt if he'd of heard it. I'll also check my Lomax book to see if he makes any mention of that version.
